    Pick up hitchhikers and chat with them.
    One of the many reasons I like OTR is not feeling obligated to talk to people. Nice quiet, peaceful days and nights; ;just me and my XM radio and a thermos of hot coffee.

    Get a hands free headset and ring 'em up! Probably more people to talk to during the day than nights (like I work, local) anyways! Best wishes, either way.

    I enjoyed my solitude like @Chinatown when I was OTR, as well. For sure, for sure.

    I feel you. I've made some trucker buddies and we call each other regularly but I still find myself bored at times. I do listen to podcasts, music etc... We can exchange #s if you want, I'm always looking to add more people to my roster lol (no omo of course)

    Here's a suggestion.

    Try foregoing the "apps" that have apparently replaced the "outdated technology" known as the CB radio. You'll find somebody to yap back and forth with sooner or later.
